On Adolf celebrating the beginning of the War

>"Hitler [...] fondly looked back on the weekend the war had broken out. For him, it had been the best weekend ever: 'I am not ashamed to acknowledge today that I was carried away by the enthusiasm of the moment [...] and I sank down upon my knees and thanked Heaven out of the fullness of my heart for the favour of having been permitted to live in such a time.'"

__________

On Adolf's regiment

>"The List Regiment [...] did not consists of cheery volunteers like Hitler but of a medley of half-fit men, formed in a last ditch attempts by the German armed forces to scramble together an army big enough to knock out France before the anticipated war with Russia."

__________

On further background of Adolf's regiment

>"As their poor equipment made blatantly clear, Weisgerber and Hitler were in a regiment that was, and would continue to be, not very high up the pecking order in the Bavarian army."

On Adolf's reasons for joining the army

>"On a sounder basis, we can state that Hitler put on a soldier's tunic in 1914 because he believed he could help make Germany great, and in 1939 he repeated the act because he believed that he alone could make Germany great."

__________

On Adolf's regiment training before joining the War

>"If anybody had thought that young Hitler and the List Regiment were ready to go into battle when Ludwig III had inspected the regiment, any such hopes were crushed on the Lechfeld. Hitler even whined about how strenuous it had been to get to the Lech Valley: 'As I told you,' Hitler wrote to Anna Popp, the wife of his landlord in Munich, 'we left Munich on Saturday. We were on our feet from 6.30 a.m. until 5 p.m. and during the march we took part in a major [exercise], all in pouring rain. We were quartered in Alling. I was put in the stables and I was wet through. Needless to say I could not sleep a wink.'"

__________

On Adolf arriving in Lille (France)

>"Occupied by the Germans since 12 October, 'Lille, and in particular the central station, was a terrible sight,' noted Father Norbert in his diary. 'The entire train station was a shambles. The wounded lay everywhere. 1,200 houses were said to have been destroyed by the bombardment [...]. There were burnt-out gables and smoking piles of rubble everywhere, along with crying and begging women and children, and withdrawn, sullen men.'"

On the task appointed to Adolf's regiment

>"The task of the List Regiment was temporarily to join the 54th [...] Reserve Division and support the German assault on the British positions around the Flemish city of Ypres [...] in an effort to break through to Ypres [...] a successful breakthrough at Ypres would have allowed the Germans to win what was to become known as the Race to the Sea."

__________

On Adolf's first night in the warzone

>"'I couldn't sleep, alas. [...] Just behind us a German howitzer battery fired two shells over our heads into the dark night every 15 minutes. They kept screaming and whistling through the air, followed by two dull thuds in the distance. Everyone of us listened for them. We had never heard anything like it before. And while we lay pressed one against the other whispering and looking up into the starry sky, the distant noise drew closer and closer, and the individual thuds of the guns came faster and faster until finally they merged into one continuous roar. Each one of us could feel his blood pound in his veins."

__________

On Adolf's regiment shooting at a plane

>"On 28 October, the troops were still in exuberant spirits. That day, they also tried to shoot down a plane, not realizing that the plane at which they were aiming was in fact a German one."

On the List Regiment's first battle

>"In the early hours of 29 October, 349 men of the List Regiment woke up for the last time in their lives. Awakening to a still dark night, they marched silently for four hours towards the flickering light of burning villages in the combat zone. [...] As dawn approached, the men still could not see. They were surrounded by heavy fog, with a visibility of less than 40 metres. The troops went into battle still wearing their cotton hats and rucksacks. [...] Hitler and his comrades [...] could hardly make out where their opponents were. [...] Not only was the vision of the men List Regiment impaired by the heavy fog but the landscape, dotted with hedges, fields, little forests, farm buildings, and the buildings of the village, made it well nigh impossible to see the British. As Weisgerber wrote home, in order to advance they had to squeeze through holes in thick hedges across dead bodies."

bump for history things, i like these threads

>>34636326

I was there and Hitler was a real one, he actually saved me and 4 other dudes one time by doing a flying kick towards a missile, deflecting it back into the enemy cannon. It was fucking tight.

On Adolf and his comrades reacting to their first battle

>"Hitler would later claim that, as shrapnel was exploding around his comrades, they shouted 'a while "Hurray" [...] in response to this first greeting of Death'. Weisgerber reported: 'It started up again right away, with "Hurrays" across the fields.' Hitler's claim is also supported by a diary entry of Count Bassenheim, who recorded of the first shelling in his diary that 'the troops enjoy themselves and joke about the grenades that come down everywhere around us.'"
__________

On the List Regiment's first attack

>"The men of the regiment recklessly charged forward. As they crossed the British trenches they failed to check whether the trenches had already been cleared, which resulted in British soldiers shooting them from both the front and from behind. [...] A British machine-gun squad based inside the windmill of Gheluvelt had a field day guning down members of the List Regiment."
__________

On the List Regiment being attacked by fellow Germans

>"The British troops who were trying to thwart the advance of the List Regiment on 29 October received unsolicited help from other German units: many men of the List Regiment were killed by 'friendly fire'. The reason for this was that other German troops had mistaken the men of RIR 16 as British troops because of their grey cotton hats."

On the soldiers of the List Regiment attacking a curious enemy

>"In the wet and dark night, the men of the List Regiment started to see enemy soldiers everywhere. One night, dark shadows were moving slowly towards them. The men of RIR 16 sensed an imminent enemy attack. Soon, they sent a formidable barrage of fire at the shadows. Yet strangely enough not a single shot was returned. They were soon to find out why. As the sun rose the following morning, the areas ahead of their front was littered with dead bodies - the dead bodies of a herd of cattle that had gone astray during the night."

__________

On the aftermath of the battle for Gheluvelt

>"Gheluvelt was now under German control, but the German objected to take Ypres was never to materialize. [...] in fact the regiment had been reduced by roughly 75 per cent from approximately 3,000 to 725, and the number of officers from 25 to 4."
_________

On the effect of the fighting on Adolf

>"By the end of the 1st Ypres it was still unclear whether the experience of seeing hundreds of their comrades killed or injured by British servicemen was to lead to a brutilization and politicization of the men of RIR 16. At the height of the Second World War, Hitler, at any rate, would claim that it was this experience that made him start to believe 'that life is a constant horrible struggle'."
